Instructions for use

1. Rehydration phase (compensation for fluid and electrolyte loss)

Infants and children should be given 40–50 ml ORS per kg of body weight over 4 hours. Real-life experience has shown that extending the rehydration period to 4-6 hours is advisable in some cases.

Breastfed infants should continue to be breastfed on demand from the start of rehydration, alongside doses of HiPP ORS 200. They should be given small individual portions of HiPP ORS 200 between feeds.

2. Realimentation phase (return to normal diet)

No later than 4-6 hours after starting the rehydration process, the child should be fed their usual, age-appropriate diet again.

  • Breastfed infants should continue to be breastfed throughout the rehydration process.
  • Non-breastfed infants under the age of six months should be given their usual diet again after rehydration.
  • Infants who are already on weaning food should be given the full quantity and concentration of their usual milk formula and weaning food after rehydration. In severe cases, the infant can gradually return to their normal diet. Older children can quickly return to their regular diet after rehydration, starting with foods containing complex carbohydrates, such as potato or rice dishes, carrot soup, porridge or semolina pudding, and bread with a spread on it. If they do not vomit afterwards, they can switch to their regular diet. Food with a high sugar content (sucrose, fructose, sorbitol) should be avoided.

In addition to the usual diet, HiPP ORS 200 compensates for the ongoing losses caused by watery stools and/or vomiting: e.g.10 ml per kg of body weight for each watery bowel movement/instance of vomiting.
